Even ignoring how the money is used, some of the recent donation drives have been really off-putting. Multiple times I've been scanning an article on my phone to find the section I need, only for the page to grey-out and become non-interact-able because a donation request banner[1] has loaded over the top of the article. It's not a huge deal (scroll to the top, close it, and continue), but annoying your users is a pretty poor way to solicit donations IMO.
